My Department has spent the following on cybersecurity measures:

Year Amount
2019 €48,509
2020 €129,931
2021 €734,411
2022 to date €528,286
Significant extra resources were made available in response to the cyber-attack on my Department in 2021, with further spending in 2022.

In respect of the HSE, I have forwarded your query and asked that they respond directly to you on this.

Details for other bodies under the aegis of my Department are operational matters for the bodies concerned and the Deputy should contact the relevant Director/CEO/Registrar directly.
